Application filed July 2. 1512. Serial Ho. F07 1'7 T all whom it may concern Be it known that l, HELEN S. CARSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of lllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvement,- in Book-Markers, or which the following is a specification.

This invention is on improvement in book markers, and while the book marker is cupsble 01 general application and for use whereerer 1t is de'sireb e to use 5. boot: marker for indicating a ind section of such page, device as presented, is especially dcsigned and adapted i'or use by followers of be? is generally known as Christian Sciend the invention consists in certain constructions and combinations of as will he hereinafter described and cioined. i

in the drawings Figure} is 2]. perspective of e book provided with the improvements.

g 2 is a. face View of the improvei men as applied to a book. Fig. 3 is a face View of the book marker with the main indicntor applied but without the sub-indicstors Fig. i is a face View of the body portion of the marker. 5 shows, in elevation, series oi main indicators marked to indicate contrasting colors. Fig. 6 is a. face view of the extension bur. Fig. 7 is 11 detail view of one of the sub-indicators. Fig. 1 is a buck view of a portion of the book showing the crossed ribbon.

In practice. the marker, such as shown complete in Fig. 2, is one of a set of thirty, which are designed to mark the entire lesson for a week or a "follower of Christian Science and I shall, therefore, only refer to this use in connection with Christian Science so for as the same may be necessary to a full understanding of the fundamental parts of the invention.

By my invention, 1 seek to provide a marker which, when used in series, will dispense with the necessity of one searching end finding the readings each time, as it is designed that the lessons may be read daily and by placing the markers the first day or" the period, they may be subsequently tollowed Without. the necessity of relocating the different lessons. The markers will also be found necessary in guiding readers who read the weekly lesson in the Sunday service in place of the sermons delivered in other churches, as the reader can turn readily to each pert and the indicators on the main .urni E as will burs, presently described, may be utilized to give the exact lines without marking or defacing the Bible culled for in the Quarterly. its the text-books are made in two sizes, the locked extension burs at one end of the body portion of the marker, as presently described, can be adjusted to fit either size of the book and will remain in place when so adjusted.

l l hile the (litt e-rent parts of the marker, as shown. may bemude of various material, it is my purpose, in practice, to make them of sheet steel one-fire-thousandth or". an inch thick, the steel to be so tempered that it will not crinkle when bent.

ln-the construction shown, the marker A comprises body portion A with an eye A at one end and an extension bar i at its other end, which extension bar has an eye A" at free end. [in arm B extends luter ally from the main bar and is provided with transverse slots D through which it main indicator C is passed in interlocking the said indicator C ''ith the arm 13, the indicator C of which a number are shown in Fig. 5, being provided withluternl loos C which aid in interlocking; the main indicator with the be under od from Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings. .ihe extension bar A is provided with lugs A similar to the lugs C and serving :1 similar purpose when the extension bar is adjusted through slots A in the main bar of the marker. The main bur of the marker is also provided with slots A arranger. in pairs extending in series through the major portion of the said bar and extending longitudinally in the general direction of the length of the main bar und curring slightly from end to end to tacilitnte the introduction through any pair of said slots of the sub-indicators D and D, which indicators l) and D may serve by the words and figures thereon shown in Fig. 2, to indicate any passage of Scripture or other portion ot a book which it may be desired to indicate.

The main indicators C are utilized to in clients the page of the book whcreon the section of textis located and as these Ill 21in indies tors are utilized in some instances in con respondence with the days of the week, it is preferred to cherncteristicully color the main indicators of each series us I have indicated in Fig. 5, in which the main indicators are marked to correspond with purple, yellow, green, red and blue so by picking out. the purple indicators or yellow indicators or the so, the i'escle "if ""01: shy perticuloi' ole wi' in it Wlll he noticed, includes Ulfiflfl aspects, a hook marker in some of it which a main bar onoion arm projecting an indicator oi intiicetors thereto while I prefer, in practice, to secure the looolz .11 one presently clesciiheth should he understood that l (lo not wish, in the hioocl eotures of my invention to he limiteol to any particular mode of securing the hook marker to hook.

ln securing the markers in-series in the booio I employ o, lsce l3, pssseol through the eyelets at one shot and then clown within the binding and thence thyough the eyelets the other end end this lacing is wrapped or wound around s ribbon F. By this means, the indicators in series are securely helti without in any way injuring the lOODlK. The

ribbon which "may be e flexible topooi on mitable material, is crossed at l5" at the heel; oi: the cook and extends st clown within the cover at the opposite sicles of the hotly of the hook and is scljustsbly fastened at F by a buckle or the like so the rihloon can be readily stljustecl to suit hooks of diiiteient sizes and can he applied tie-end. removed from the book, when desiieol; B31 this means, the marker can he conveniently opplied to a hook anti when so applied,

means for securing in position will not injure the hook in any manner. i
